Challah

Challah is a brioche-like bread made extra soft when baked with cake flour. It’s enjoyed as a Jewish holiday tradition and also makes a perfect breakfast bread – spread soft butter and jam on a slice and pair it with a cup of hot coffee to start the day.

  • I followed instructions correctly. dough feels heavy, not soft and silky as challah dough should be. Seems to be lacking in liquid. First rise in progress, going very slowly.

  • I followed directions fairly well, but dough was far too wet and sticky to use with dough hook until I added more flour. I’ve got it rising for the first hour so we’ll see :-)

    • Hi Vindog, We're sorry to hear you had this problem.We sent your information to our Customer Service Department. Someone should be reaching out. Happy baking!

  • I am in the middle of making this and having the opposite problem from Barb - mine looks like cake batter rather than a dough. I’m going to have to add more flour and hope it comes together. I double checked all my measurements and confirmed I didn’t read any of them incorrectly :(

    • Hi Tina, We're so sorry that you had this experience. Were you able to save the batter? Let us know the outcome.

  • I followed the instructions very carefully and the bread came out dry and heavy like a brick. First time in all my years making bread that I had to throw out the loaf.

    • Hi Barb, We sent your information to our Customer Service Department. Someone should be reaching out. Happy baking!

    • Hi Judy, If you have dough hooks for your hand mixer you likely can. Just be conscience as to if it seems to be too much of a strain on the mixer. If not, we would recommend kneading by hand. Happy baking!
